After much speculation, gaming bosses have confirmed the club as an official partner for Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 and that Parkhead WILL feature in the latest title.

Developers KONAMI have teamed up with the Scottish Premiership and the top-flight will be fully licensed.

That initial announcement sparked excitement among Hoops supporters that they could finally see their stadium in the famous football game.

It's also been confirmed that a limited edition Celtic club version of the game will be available from August 30.

All 12 Premiership sides will appear in official kits with weekly updates on player stats and squads throughout the season.

Gordon Kaye – Head of Business Development at Celtic FC remarked: “We are delighted to be partnering with KONAMI at such an exciting time for the PES Series.

"The gameplay and player detail in PES 2019 is simply stunning and we have no doubt Celtic fans will be excited at the prospect of seeing the Double Treble Champions emulated in such a realistic way.“

“Celtic is a hugely successful club and we are delighted to be working closely with them,” commented Jonas Lygaard, Senior Director Brand & Business Development at Konami Digital Entertainment B.V.

“Our job now is to ensure Celtic’s presence is perfectly recreated within PES 2019 and we look forward to seeing the fans’ reactions when all the work being put into this is complete and we reveal everything – more updates coming soon – watch this space!”

Rangers fans were the last Scottish club to see their stadium given the digital treatment - almost 20 years ago when Ibrox featured in FIFA 99.

The game will be unveiled at a special event at Celtic Park this Thursday and Record Sport Online will be there to bring you extensive coverage ahead of its release.
